The Faris Team is very well organized, knowledgeable and set up to transact in today's challenging market conditions. We were very pleased with the service, the recommendations and post transaction team. Ultimately, our house sold before going to market so even better! - Scott

Both Mark and especially Sabrina Staunton were most helpful and dedicated. We were very picky and they worked hard to get exactly what we wanted, at the price we could afford. - Paul

The team at Mark Faris was friendly and professional! They were very helpful through the entire process as this was my first house house purchase. Even since I've moved into the house, they keep in touch and are always available for questions. I highly recommend this team - you won't be disappointed! - Kristyn Dougall

Mark and the team offer an exceptional customer experience that is likely unmatched by any realtor in the area they service. Their hiring practices are exemplary as the entire team no matter what stage of the customer experience is at is built for the customer with the customers needs in mind. In my mind, it would be near impossible to partner with a more professional real estate team. - Todd Burgess

There are three things that left a bad taste in my mouth about my dealings with this company. I will mention two of them as they are the only two I know as fact. One - the sale of my property didn't close on its closing date as the documents had not been forwarded to my lawyer and my realtor could not be reached on the day of closing. Two - my property was purchased by one of their realtors and then sold by that realtor one year later. I gave them the points I did as I was satisfied with the amount I received for my property. - Mary

This is more for the employer side of Mark and Joanna.. Congratulations on their great success, but I honestly am not sure how they will keep it up.... WAAAAY too many financial mistakes, including squandering money in all the wrong places like top notch decor for the offices. They dont treat all of their employees equally, if your not part of the family they basically won't try to remember you. That to me is very sad, especially when they cant realize who their hard workers are, and likewise dont appreciate or thank those employees. They also dont compensate their employees properly now that they have moved them to salary. This is disgusting to me... they are robbing their employees by asking them to do ridiculous hours of overtime with no compensation whatsoever... and I say "asking" liberally as it is understood that the employees are replaceable if they dont do what they are asked. Your not only hurting your employees, but their families as well. Please for your own sakes, learn how to budget your companies money properly and pay better respect to your employees. Before you have none left except new hires that dknt know how to do anything. - Anonymous
We would not use anyone other than Mark Faris to buy or sell our homes. The teams knowledge of how to sell your home to ensure the best possible price is exceptional. As well, during the time we were selling our home our family went through a crisis. Mark Faris and his lovely wife provided support to us and were truly sympathetic to our issues. We felt they truly cared for us and our family, not just the sale of our home. Very rare! - Claire Warren
